twitch and tug

pent up in a penthouse of my own design

always resist you

most of the time

and i'm just a man slowly losing his mind

to that twitch and tug on the line

taking me back to when you were mine

start off in neutral and end up in dumb

between my finger and my dirty thumb

every exit i come to and every red stop sign

feeling that twitch and tug on the line

got me believing you were mine

got me believing you were mine

try to forget you

replace you if i can

cold sweats and fever

your twisted little plans

and baby i get closer to leaving all the time

but that twitch and tug on the line

got me believing we've got time

got me believing we've got time

all worn in and all cashed out

no more moves

no more doubt

you've had your time

i've had my fill

now you're gonna be just another memory

start off in neutral and end up in dumb

between my finger and my dirty thumb

every exit i come to and every red stop sign

feeling that twitch and tug on the line

got me believing you were mine

if i didn't have you

i'd steal you all the same

i've no greater enemy and no better friend

so i carry on just burning up my time

'cos of that twitch and tug on the line

'cos of that twitch and tug on the line

got me believing i've got time

got me believing i've got time
